RiverAction
River rafting on the Hólmsá river near Vík í Mýrdal
River difficulty 4+ out of 5 possible.
Category: Daytrip, available directly from Reykjavik in Iceland.
Rafting on Hólmsá River is an action packed rafting trip and is ideal for those who are looking for adrenaline! All the fun and action a river can possibly hold are in this case jammed together into one river. Huge waves, giant holes and mini waterfalls are on the menu for RiverAction.
We bypass a beautiful waterfall on our way and see the spring water of Hólmsá River fuse with the brown glacial water of Leirá River. The natural surroundings are quite interesting; everything from barren lava to green pastures and woods.
In 2008 the Rafting World Championship will be held on Hólmsá so this is the real deal.
This trip is just for those that have rafted before!
